Students here are quick to point out that LMU differs from its neighbors USC and UCLA. Overall, LMU is quiet and intimate. Palm trees dot the courtyards between the small buildings. On the exterior, LMU looks like an expensive school. The grounds are neatly manicured and constantly maintained. The school lacks the concrete sterility of a major university, but it possesses the advantages of a big city school—theaters, museums, and celebrities. The biggest contributor to student satisfaction is the size. Students cite a small student body and close ties with professors as the main advantages to an LMU education. Another plus is the lavish facilities, especially the Burns Rec Center with its state-of-the-art fitness center. The academics programs are also a highlight with students. The film school is growing in size and notoriety, while programs in political science, business, and communications are strong points. On the negative side, a small university still possesses the same problems as a large university. Students repeatedly report problems with a disorganized administration, especially financial aid. Parking and housing are increasing problems that the University is only beginning to address through the addition of new residence halls. LMU is not perfect, but no university is. For students searching for a small, private university, LMU offers advantages that few other universities can provide, namely, a friendly, socially-conscious student body and a curriculum to match.

I Love It!
A+
LMU is great because it makes students feel at home. Students, faculty, and staff help develop a strong sense of community. There seems to always be something going on whether it's a concert, dance, comedy night, philanthropy event, forum, or some other sort of event. Students are given the opportunity to learn about themselves and meet others who have the same goals. I feel like LMU is helping me reach my full potential. |

Classes Very Interactive and Fun!
A
I am a communications major and the classes I have taken have been fun. My interpersonal and group communication class used a variety of different medias and activities like acting, video clips, examples in the text book, personal research and experiments, and the best group project ever! In my public speaking class we used speeches to get to know each other and learn new skills like how to cook, make balloon animals, and perform a magic trick. |
